This rural villa is situated just 4km from the historic Pollença Old Town and is surrounded by rolling hills. The interiors here veer towards the traditional side, which may not suit those seeking modernity, though we think the authentic beams and exposed stonework add a rustic charm. You’ll want to spend most of your time outdoors – taking refreshing dips in the pool, sipping cocktails under the pergola and gathering for alfresco meals. And with your host able to arrange extras, you can enjoy in-villa tastings of local cheeses and wines and flamenco dancing lessons – bliss.
